Of course. Why should they? This domain is not a TLD.
If you mean, "I'm *not* given a glue record for ns1.twisted4life.com
from the name servers of .ORG", then, you're right and it's perfectly
normal, since ns1.twisted4life.com is not in .ORG.
Do note that the name servers of .COM do exactly the same (try with
"debian.com") but the broken dnsreport.com reports only for ".ORG".
This means that my name server will have to discover the IP address
for ns1.twisted4life.com some other way.
And then have a more serious chance of getting proper data. This is
called the "out of bailiwick" problem. Name servers should not send
info they are not authoritative for, except when the glue is
absolutely necessary.
You may want to add an SPF record before October 1, 2004, the target
date for domains to have SPF records in place.
Bullshit.
?
Does this word need an explanation? Who decided that 2004-10-01 was
the flag day?
